External collaboration
Working with external partners brings flexibility, but requires clear agreements. Contracts that define expectations reduce misunderstandings and strengthen your commercial position.
By considering performance, liability and confidentiality early on, you can collaborate with external parties in a secure and predictable way.
Recognizable situations
Situations you recognize, answers that help you move forward.
For any collaboration with an external partner, a solid contract is essential. It records the arrangements on performance, fees, timing, liability, confidentiality and termination of the collaboration. A tailor made contract helps prevent differences in interpretation and legal uncertainty.
Never use standard templates without adapting them to your specific situation. Every contract must reflect the nature of the collaboration and the risks you want to cover. If you want to avoid disputes or claims, have the contract legally reviewed before you sign it.

General terms and conditions set the ground rules for your commercial relationships. They include clauses on delivery, payment, complaints, liability and competent courts. They protect your business against unexpected risks and provide legal certainty for every contract.
Make sure your general terms are legally correct and properly communicated to your customers. Only then can they be enforced. Have them reviewed and updated regularly, especially when your activities or markets change.

Freelancers are not covered by traditional labour law, but a contract is still essential. You need clear agreements on services, fees, deadlines, confidentiality, intellectual property and liability. This helps avoid disputes about responsibilities or ownership of delivered work.
Be aware that the collaboration must not be requalified as false self employment. Such requalification can trigger serious financial and legal consequences. If you want a legally safe cooperation with freelancers, ensure clear agreements and well defined contractual boundaries.
